The meter is a device that sums up your electricity consumption. Each household has a meter and each of them has a unique meter number. The meter number must be stated when you report your electricity consumption. There are two kinds of meters.

The new kind of meter will automatically read and report your electricity consumption. If you have the old kind of meter you must check the meter digit and report this to Bodø Energi Kraftsalg on our webside or Bodø Energi App. You can also call us to tlf. 755 45 100 to report the meter reading.

You find your meter connected to the fuse box in your home.

By January the 1th 2019 all Norwegian households will have installed the kind of meter which automatically reads the consumption.

When you buy electricity from Bodø Energi Kraftsalg you can either receive your invoice/ bill by post, email or eFaktura.

eFaktura is an electronic billing system which requires that you have an online banking system from a Norwegian bank. If you have a Norwegian bank you can also register the bills from Bodø Energi Kraftsalg in a system called AutoGiro, wich automatically pays the bill at the maturity date / Payment Due Date.

Receiving the bill by email or eFaktura comes with no extra fee, but receiving it by post you will be cahgred an extra fee of 49 NOK.

The invoice/bill lists two different costs; the cost of electricity and the transmission cost.

Nettleie = transmission cost/fee
Transmission cost (also called fee) is a cost representing the building and maintaing the power grid in Norway. All power customers have to pay a transmission fee to have electricity delivered to their home. This cost is the same regardless of wich electricity comapny you choose to buy your electricity from.
